Comments
Collection of encrypted correspondence between the compiler and various correspondents, in approximately 150 alphabets, accompanied by transcriptions of the letters in Arabic. The compiler cites Shihāb al-Dīn al-Jindī al-Ê»Alāʼī, Burhān al-Dīn al-Qudsī, and Taqī al-Dīn MuhÌ£ammad ibn JaÊ»far al-HÌ£usaynī as authorities for some of the alphabets. The manuscript is incomplete, lacking its beginning and end. Occasional marginal notes. Some worm damage in margins.
